Chapter 17
Beta: Not betaed yet!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
" Harry Potter... or is it Harrison Collins? Seems like we meet again.", the sorting hat on Harry head laughed. Harry growled. He hated being woken up at 6 o'clock. It made it worse that a house elf came to wake him up. He never liked them. They were clumsy and always loud. The unfortunate elf forced him to wake up, because it was his master's order and tried to drag him with him. It failed and only caused the elf more pain due to the spells Harry shot without his wand. Luckily for the elf, Harry was too tired to shoot any dark spells. After the loud sound, Voldemort came to look what happened for himself and saw a unconcious house elf covered in blood and a boy curled in his bed, sleeping as if nothing happened. Somehow, Voldemort managed to get him out of his bed and now he was sitting in the great hall. Although he couldn't see anything because of the hat, he could feel many eyes staring at him.
Stop chit chatting and just sort me, Harry thought.
My, my... a bit bad-tempered today, mister Potter or do you prefer mister Collins?
It's not my fault being in a bad mood. It was bloody Voldemort who woke me up so early just because the lessons began at 7 in the morning. Seven! Who thought it up?
It was the headmaster of course. Britain needs skillful and great wizards and witches. And you'll become great with more practice and thus more lesson bla bla bla...
Harry sighed, he wanted to end this conversation. It felt like he was sitting here forever.
Can you sort me now?, Harry thought.
Well, it's just like before. You're cunning and ambitious, smart and brave.
Don't say Raffinrin! I warn you if-
Don't worry mister Potter, I won't say raffinrin. After those words Harry sighed relieved.
" Grifrinclaw!", the sorting hat shouted. Everyone in the great hall murmured something to each other.
You're so dead!, Harry thought.
Why? You said don't say Reffinrin. I didn't say it, so there's no reason for you to kill me. Harry swore he could hear the hat sniggering.
You assh- Suddenly someone took the hat from his head and Voldemort who sat at the head table silenced the others.
" It seems like mister Potter belongs to three houses. Although he may only go to one house, I think he suited the slytherin house the best, so mister Potter take a seat at the slytherin table." Harry didn't like taking commands, but didn't care this time. He walked to the slytherin table and took a seat next to the boy who looked like Abraxas.
" Everyone take good care of the new student. Mister Potter is my protegee, so any harm that befalls him..." Voldemort didn't even have to finish his sentence to bring over his message.
" Enjoy your meal and don't be late for the lessons." After Voldemort spoke these words, he took place in his seat again. Everyone began eating their breakfast and chatting with people next to them.
" Hello, I'm Draco Malfoy. It's nice to meet you." Harry looked at the boy next to him. He smiled friendly. " I'm Harry Potter. Nice to meet you too. Are you by any chance the son of Narcissa Malfoy and the grandson of Abraxas?", Harry asked casually. Draco nodded. " How do you know them?"
" I've met..." Harry almost wanted to say them, but that sounded ridiculous. Draco wouldn't believe he met his grandfather. " your mother."
" Here Draco." A girl handed Draco a green-coloured potion. " Shouldn't this potion be red?" Draco frowned. " I know, I've tried many times, but it didn't work." Harry could see she told the truth, she really looked exhausted.
" Put some grass in it.", Harry said shortly. " Grass?" Draco asked. Harry nodded. " I've never seen grass used as ingredient for a potion. And grass is green, so the potion would be still green." Harry sighed. It was fun to see people underestimating his cleverness, but sometimes it was just annoying like now.
" Give me the potion.", Harry ordered. Draco hesitated a bit, but he still gave the potion. He put his hand in the pocket of his robe and let grass appear in it. Then he took his hand with now grass in it out of his pocket en put it in the vial. The colour of the potion changed slowly to red. Draco and the girl stared with open mouths at it. " You're a miracle! Have you done this often or are you just supertalented with potions?", the girl asked. " I've not done it often. I'm not interested in potions. Who are you by the way?"
" O I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Astoria Greengrass. Nice to meet you, Harry.'
Harry took her hand and kissed it, like a good pure blood and said:'' The pleasure is all mine." Astoria giggled. " You don't need to be so formal."
" O before I forget." Astoria took a piece of paper out of her bag. " Here." Harry took it. " It seems like we have almost the same lessons", said Draco who looked at the timetable. Harry nodded. He cursed in his mind when he saw the lessons where over at 7pm.
" The first lesson will start in 5 minutes.", Harry noticed. " Yeah, but we don't have to go to class. We got dueling with bloody Gryffindors in the great hall." Harry sighed,'Gryffindors..." "Luckily the Dark Lord placed you here, I don't think you would survive in the house of the lions." O How wrong you are, Harry thought.
After 5 minutes, the great hall was empty except for the first years of the two houses, the dueling teacher, some people who cleaned everything and Voldemort.
" What are the people in muggle chothes doing?", Harry whispered to Draco.
" They're filthy muggleborns. They're wearing muggle clothes to humiliate them and show them they are as lowly as a muggle. They're not allowed to learn magic, only do the tasks we give them. Everyone at Hogwarts has a muggleborn as servant.", Draco explained.
" Where do they stay?"
" They stay in special dorms. They're eating there. Sometimes if they're lucky they may eat in the great hall, but only we're gone."
" Who's your servant?"
" That brunette over there." Harry followed Draco's eyes en his gaze fell upon a girl who was cleaning the table.
" She's clever for a muggleborn, but also very annoying." Harry rolled his eyes. " Every muggleborn is annoying of course." Draco agreed.
" Psst. Professor Carrow is looking at you." Harry knew the voice and considered it came from Astoria. Draco and Harry looked at the professor and saw she was indeed staring at them.
" It seems like mister Potter wants to show how to duel.", Professor Carrow said. Everyone's gaze fell upon him. While Harry just studied the professor, trying to find weak spots.
" Come here, mister Potter. I'm not going to bite." Harry walked slowly to the professor and stood on the table just like Alecto Carrow.
" Good, take out your wand." It became silent after the professor asked it. " What are you waiting for?"
" I don't have a wand, it's broken...", Harry replied. Again, it became silent. This time Voldemort broke the silence and conjured a wand.
" Here, It's your wand. It's as if it's completely new.", He gave the wand to Harry. Harry frowned and had many questions, but he didn't say anything. He was already confused by what happened yesterday.
" Well, we can begin the duel. My Lord, do I have permission to harm him?" Alecto asked.
" If you can.", the Dark Lord replied. Alecto nodded.
The professor turned to Harry. " Do you know how to duel?" Harry nodded.
" Okay, lets start. One." They bowed to each other.
" Two." They walked each to the ends of the table.
" Three!" Both turned around. Harry saw a light and knew the professor had done a non verbal spell. He recognized the spell as a reducto and put up a strong shield. Then he shoot a non verbal spell back at her. She was surprised that he could do non verbal spells and ducked just in time. Unfortunately she hadn't noticed the second spell Harry shot. When the spell hit her, she fell to the ground screaming for a minute. Everyone had recognized the spell or rather the curse. After the minute the professor stood up with all her strength. Harry could see that she was far beyond anger, than he expected. She began throwing curses at him, even the three unforgivables. Harry blocked them easily and avoided the unforgivables. After a while Harry was finished with the boring duel and decided to end it. The professor was a treat and he actually didn't need her. He had many toys at Hogwarts.
" Any last words, professor?" Harry asked calmly.
" You insolent-" Harry threw curses at her. She put up a shield, but it shattered immediately when a curse hit it. Harry's curses were stronger than before. Alecto decided to avoid the curses. It didn't take long to hit her, just because she was foolish enough to exhaust herself before.
Harry stood before the professor who was now lying on the table, bleeding. " No last words, hmm? Farewell professor." Harry pointed his wand at her. Suddenly Alecto kicked his leg and Harry fell on the table. A book fell out of his pocket. Alecto took it and read Charms for Advanced.
When Harry saw Alecto with his book, he became angry. " Give it back!" Harry hissed. " Is this so important to you? Well, let me destroy it. Alecto took her wand and pointed at the book. " Incen-"
" Expelliarmus.", Harry shouted. Alecto's wand flew out of her hand into Harry's hand.
" My my, you've more tricks than I expected. Wandless magic, hmm? It's not over yet." Alecto took Harry's wand that fell next to her when she kicked him. She pointed it again at the book.
Suddenly she pointed the wand at herself. Her eyes became red.
" Hello Harry. Long time ago that I saw you. hmm. 50 years..." Alecto or rather the horcrux walked to Harry.
" Where were you? Why did you leave me alone? Do you know how boring it was in that book. The only one who talked to me was Tom and not even everyday." Harry anger made place for surprise.
" I remember how I thought about gaining a psychical body. I didn't expect a woman's body!'' Harry rolled his eyes. " I can't believe you're me."
" Aww. Don't make me cry."
" Nope, you're not me."
The horcrux sighed. " Okay, I'll be serious." He looked around and noticed everyone was staring at them.
" Can I keep this body? I don't like this body, but I'm already happy that I'm not locked up in the book.", the horcrux whispered.
Voldemort walked to them. " No, you may not."
" Please, Tom.", he whispered, so that only the three of them could hear. Tom? Is he the same Tom as..., Harry thought.
Voldemort sighed. " Return to the book.", he whispered. " I'll think about it. Don't ever take a woman's body, it doesn't suit you. It actually makes Harry and me sick." Harry agreed.
" Fine.", the horcrux sighed. As soon as the horcrux went back, the body of Carrow fell numb on the table. Harry took his wand and the book. He sighed.
" You've caused me too much trouble, professor." Harry pointed his wand at her again. " Avada Kedavra." A green light came out of his wand and hit the professor who was now dead.
Voldemort sighed again. " You too have caused me too much trouble. Amnesia." Everyone in the great hall except for the caster and Harry were knocked out.
" Are you stupid?Don't you remember what I once said to you? Don't lose yourself in your anger. You didn't even think about the fact horcruxes can't be destructed with just a spell or a curse."
" How do you know about my horcrux?", Harry said calmly even though he wasn't.
" We discovered it. Did you forget that too? I made seven horcruxes. Did you ever wonder why you wear the slytherin ring?'' Harry looked at the ring around his finger. He hadn't noticed it until now. He blinked.
" It's my horcrux..." Harry absorbed the information slowly.
" Where is the locket?", Voldemort asked. Horcruxes, Tom, Ring, Locket, Nagini... Memories came slowly back. Tears formed in his eyes. " Tom..."
It was night. Everyone was chatting and waiting for the sign to begin eating. No one remembered anything about the horcrux yesterday, except for Harry and Voldemort. The others only knew Harry had killed her. Harry sighed, he remembered everything. He didn't know he liked it or not. Everything really changed, even Tom. It was still confusing even when he regained his memories. He was lost.
Voldemort suddenly cleared his troat and everyone was silenced.
" Everyone has heard the rumour that professor Carrow is dead. I cannot deny it, it's the truth. It's a pity, she was a good teacher." Harry knew he lied. " From now on the new teacher will be mister Potter. Miss Jeannette will assist him. It's a shame she couldn't come tonight." Everyone stared at him. Harry himself was surprised. He didn't expect that. He was still a child. "I know he is still young, but he's quite talented. Also, we have some transfer students. Everyone welcome them." The door opened and the 2 children walked to the head table. " Tom Riddle and Harrison Collins. They will go to the slytherin house." Everyone clapped, except for Harry who stared with open mouth. The two walked to the slytherin table. Tom sat next to Harry and Harrison next to Tom. They grinned.
" What the Hell?!", Harry cursed.
" Hey Harry, you have a doppelgänger. Are you and Harrison twins?", Draco asked.
" Yeah, he really looks like you." Astoria commented.
" I'm his cousin.", Harrison answered.
" Cool! Nice to meet you two, I'm Astoria and that is Draco."
" It's my pleasure.", Tom and Harrison replied united.
" You have something to explain.", Harry demanded.
" Yes, but not now professor." Tom smiled.
" It's about the horcruxes right?" Harry whispered.
They both nodded.
Harry sighed this was going to be a long night. But Harry felt good.
Author Note
I'm sorry you all had to wait 2 months! 2 months! It must have been a torture to you all! I didn't even have this chapter betaed! So sorry for my bad writings. I've tried to make this chapter as long as possible, till now it's my longest chapter. I wanted to write in autumn holiday, but I was quite busy then. Now it's already almost christmas! I will try to finish a chapter before new year. TRY! Also, if you wondered, why does Harry have his horcrux in the pocket and why doesn't he have noticed the ring, then here are the reasons why. Harry has his horcrux in his pocket because he wanted to go to the chamber of secrects to hide the thing for his immortality. Nobody noticed he had it in his pocket because he enchanted it before he was taken by Sirius, so the book became smaller and invisible in his pocket. Harry hadn't noticed the ring because he was confused. I mean if you lost your memories, you don't first think about a ring, right? Why didn't Dumbles ask about the ring? Tom had placed good spells on it. One of them: invisibility. Last question: Why didn't I place the information in the chapter(s)? I just couldn't find a good place to put the information in.
Geetac: Thanks, I hope you liked this chapter too!
Starcrossedmoon: Here's your answer! :)
Cherrie-san: Hihi, you're right. Dumbles didn't take it.
Remus' Daugther: What is a recap? I couldn't translate it. Sorry for the confusing things.
Guest: I know, but Dumbles don't want him together with Tom. He thinks together they are dangerous.
jay: Yeah he did!
SoraMalfoySlytern: I'll think about it.
Ramen-Luver101: He lost his memories.
Believerofmanythings: I hope you liked it!
NoxBlade1254: Thanks!
RRW: He is 11. He was 1 when he went through the past. He stayed there for 10 years, so he's eleven. When he returned he is still eleven even though his should be eight. He lived eleven years so he is eleven.
Allen's Matchmaker: I'm so sorry, but I hope this pleases you.
Maiwishes: I think light slash and intimate platonic friendship, but I'm not sure. I think I will change it to T.
I hope you all liked this chapter! Also, I've got three questions:
1. I know I've already asked it, but what pairings do you want?
2. What will happen to the muggles?
3. Do you mind if it's a short chapter that I will perhaps write before 2014?
Thanks in advance for answering.
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and a happy newyear!
